Purely out of interest, I've just looked at the site and can find no mention of VAT being added later or included in the prices shown. In fact I can find no mention of it at all, which I find a little strange...
Personally I would accept that VAT is included in the prices listed, unless for some reason photographic processing is exempt from it?

I remember using Metro Imaging in London when I was assisting various commercial photographers - dropped off their work and collected when done, not sure what they're like now, but looking at who they do work for leads me to believe they're pretty spot on.

Metro Imaging disbanded all wet processing and B&W hand printing a few years ago. I was speaking with one of their B&W printers at that time who had just setup their own service after being laid off but took on work from Metro. Unless they have resuscitated their processing equipment, it they kept it, they must farm out their processing. I never used them much as they were more expensive but were local so handy for an odd, urgent roll. The last time I dropped off a film I got the comment, "Film, what's that?".

For the original question, Peak Imaging is great for process only. The scans not so much. Personally I send everything nowadays for process and scan to Carmencita lab in Spain. The results are impeccable.
No issues with international shipping and postage delays / damage? Have you tried Ag Photolab? I've only used them once for a Fujiflex print from a digital camera file, but results were very good.
I did a check and all the staff had been on a customer care course just before you went No wonder businesses go bust wasting money on daft thingsOnly ever been to Metro once, went to ask about large format printing and paper options. Almost told off for not just checking the website then they asked me wait around for ages till their "expert" came along who told me to check the website and then just left. As if the website will show me the paper in real life.
.
For anyone in Ireland, my local lab has started to offer E6 (the only lab in the country to do this). I haven't tried them yet but they showed me some results on a lightbox and it looked fine.
Should be a faster turnaround than sending rolls to UK for those in the Emerald Isle.
